i Jingxi was already interested in Fu Shi.
Why was he investigating Fu Shi's background?

 

According to the content of the original book, Fu Shi did not meet Chi Jingxi until after the New Year's Banquet.
How did this encounter already happen? Could it be that Chi Jingxi had noticed Fu Shi before meeting face to face?

 

Still in doubt, she heard Chi Jingxi squeeze out a long hum from his throat in acknowledgement, but he didn't say anything else.

 

As such, the tanned-face attendant continued his report.
“Fu Shi's mother is a concubine-born daughter from the Ministry of Rites, Qian Shilang's family.
According to stories, she is highly favored by Prime Minister Fu.
Fu Shi’s younger brother is fifteen years old and is studying at Qingyun Academy on the eastern streets of Chaoge.
Her half-brother, Fu Zixian, is also studying in Songhai Academy and has a good relationship with Wen Yantong.”

Wen Yantong widened her eyes when she heard her name, wondering what interest Chi Jingxi had in Fu Shi.
Did he want to investigate all of her ancestors from the past eighteen generations?

 

Chi Jingxi's unreadable gaze rested on Wen Yantong, and not long after, he said in a low voice, “Fu Zixian?”

 

Finally hearing his voice, the tanned-face servant breathed a sigh of relief and replied, “This was all this servant has found at this moment.”

 

Chi Jingxi raised his hand to signal him to retreat.

 

After listening to the servant’s report, Wen Yantong, who was sentenced to stand for a while, became more and more uneasy.

 

Badump.
Badump.
She swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
She still hadn’t come up with a legitimate excuse when she heard Chi Jingxi ask in a deep voice, “What were you doing in this room?”

 

The question still hadn’t changed one bit.
Wen Yantong almost immediately felt the pressure of Chi Jingxi as a superior.
He was obviously in a bad mood and didn't want to listen to lies.

 

Before he became impatient, Wen Yantong confessed, “To change clothes.”

 

Chi Jingxi looked at her from top to bottom.
“Where did they come from?”

 

The clothing was specially provided by the palace as demonstrated by the unique style of the embroidery that was specially made in the palace.
Favored by the emperor, Chi Jingxi is a frequent visitor of the palace, and he was never short of gifts coming from the palace.
At a glance, it could be seen that these clothes were impossible for a commoner like Wen Yantong to own.

 

Wen Yantong suddenly realized that Chi Jingxi only seemed to believe that she was a man who was wearing women's clothes, not that she was a woman who was usually disguised as a man.
Thus, she calmed down a bit, and she steadily and honestly answered, “…It was given by Teacher Hua who taught the qin.”

 

“Why change here?”

 

“Because there was no one here.” Wen Yantong then pointed to the package on the table.
“I didn't move anything in the room, and I planned to leave after I changed.
If you want someone to blame, Little Marquis…”

 

Chi Jingxi's eyes were dark.
He didn't say anything to what Wen Yantong said.
Instead, he walked to the table and sat down.
One of the attendants next to him stepped forward to test the temperature of the teapot with the back of his hand.

 

The tea was naturally cold, so the servant hurriedly took it out to fill it with hot tea.
While the attendant was busy moving around, Chi Jingxi took a book from the shelf and sat on the soft chair.

 

As if Wen Yantong did not exist, he leisurely read the book.

 

Wen Yantong knew his intentions, so she didn't dare to escape.
She could only stand against the door panel obediently.

 

It was obvious that Chi Jingxi was in a bad mood when he arrived.
However, she could see that his face was darker now, and his long eyelashes were drooping down.
His eyes lightly glided over the pages of the book, making it hard to figure out what he was thinking.

 

Wen Yantong didn't understand how his mood worsened at first, but after a quick glimpse of her crutches from the corner of her eyes, she suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

 

Only then did she suddenly realize that her lie was too poorly thought out.

 

She was leaning on the crutches in her hands instead of holding them.
Chi Jingxi was not a fool, so he could see at a glance her limping posture.

 

It was just that she was so anxious at that moment that Wen Yantong completely forgot about it!

 

She regarded Chi Jingxi as a fool.
Similarly, in Chi Jingxi's eyes, she was also a fool.

The author has something to say: 

 

Chi Jingxi: Still the kind of fool who would always yell at the rooster to lay eggs.

Tongtong will not fall off her horse for the time being, because the conditions do not allow it.
